His eyes flashed with a multitude of colors, indicating he was on the verge of a shift. The supernatural blood in her body responded instantly, causing her eyes to shift as well. She snarled and cried out as mating pain raced through her body.
He reached and tweaked one of her nipples while still stroking his cock with his other hand. Nina bit her inner cheek, desperate for more. Jordan sniffed the air and growled.
“Dammit, Nina, I know your cunt is wet for me but I can sense your fear. I want to ease this for you, baby. I do. Let me help you while I’m still in something that resembles control here.”
She started to protest but he cut her off, moving around and crawling onto the end of the bed. He spread her legs and kissed his way up her thighs, moving the thin garment she wore up her body, over her breasts. Once centered, he parted her folds and dipped his head, seeming to savor being so close to her core. When his gaze met hers, Nina noticed his eyes were fully shifted.
“Jordan…”
He let out his long tongue and licked a line up her slit, causing Nina to draw in a deep breath. Fire shot through her lower region and Jordan’s tongue seemed to make it burn more. Everywhere he licked lit up instantly. She jerked against the chains, forcing her mound against his face more and more.
A manly chuckle escaped him as he ate at her pussy. “Mmm, damn, woman. You taste so fucking good. So sweet.”
Nina moaned as pressure built deep within her. She needed to break free, to move, to do anything other than lay helpless during Jordan’s sensual assault.
He slid his tongue into her heated core and Nina came up off the bed as much as she could, screaming in ecstasy. Her pussy clenched his tongue, holding it in her for a fraction of a second, and Jordan let out a moan, sounding as if he were in pain.
As he began to grind his hips against her leg, she knew then that he was as horny as her. He rubbed her clit as he continued to lick her, varying between each until Nina’s body gave in, reaching her zenith.
She cried out and stilled, allowing the orgasm to run over her slowly at first, then hard and fast. It quenched the mating pain and for the first time in a long time, she felt like herself again. Well, all except for the fact she had a man who confused her senses between her legs, staring up at her with nothing short of rapture on his handsome face.
His chin glistened with the fruits of his labor and a sly smile spread over his lips. “Feeling better?”
She wanted to yell, say something snide, do anything to save face, but that wasn’t what happened. Nina did something she hadn’t prepared for—she let her guard down. “Yes,” she whispered, tears coming to her eyes. “Thank you.”
Something she couldn’t read passed over Jordan’s face. She thought he’d move up and over her before sinking his cock into her. He didn’t.
Jordan moved off the bed, slow and stiff. He took hold of the sheet and laid it over her body, no longer meeting her gaze.
Nina watched as Jordan dressed, refusing to look at her or comment on what had just transpired between them. She stiffened as the reality of it sank in.
He doesn’t want me. He took pity on me. I’m pathetic. I threw myself at a man who doesn’t know what the hell he wants.
The intense need to mate returned with a vengeance and she exhaled, trying to breathe through it. She wondered how exactly she’d behaved when she’d been brought in and how much of it Jordan had borne witness to.
Shame washed over her and she averted her gaze.
He left the hut and a few minutes later Manna appeared, concern on her face. She wisely refrained from comment as she approached Nina. She leaned over her, undoing the chains before handing her a bundle of clothing.
“Here. Take these. You ripped yours off when you were brought in.”
Nina nodded, looking past Manna towards the door. She wanted to ask where Jordan had gone but couldn’t seem to bring herself to do so.
Manna touched her forearm lightly. “It will work out in the end, Nina. I promise.”
“What will work out?” she asked, playing stupid.
Manna didn’t answer. She stood and smoothed down the front of her long skirt. “There is a basin in the corner with fresh water and if you come to my home, there is a bath there.”
“Thank you.”
